Notes
Most people know that ABBA (1973-82) were a Swedish band who became one of the world's most successful pop groups after winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, and that their back catalogue was turned into the stage and film musical Mamma Mia! What, perhaps, they don't know is that ABBA have sold more than 380 million albums and singles; that 'Waterloo' was originally titled 'Honey Pie'; that their flamboyant outfits were part of a tax-saving scheme; and that 3.5 million people applied for tickets to see them perform at London's Royal Albert Hall in 1977. This book presents an instant impression of their life, world, work and legacy, with an array of irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the musicians behind the music.
